Other traditional food, including these Vietnamese specialties wrapped in banana leaves were prepared by the students for some honored guests of the celebration. Even the decorations like this dragon poster were created just for the day by students. This is Tin Tron’s artwork. How long did that take you to do? *** day just *** day. I started like around 12 and I fish around 656. Is that *** hobby for you? I just. Like to draw. *** group of students performed this bamboo dance, but this isn’t just *** Chinese New Year celebration. Students here are from China, Vietnam, Cambodia, and more than *** dozen other countries.
